Hi Guys,
I know that FLAC format is currently limited to 8 channels but I was
wondering if this hard limitation of the format
or if it can be easily circumvented if the flac library is compiled with
other settings and/or the software using it don't mind it
Thanks !

Hello Olivier,
the limitation is in the file format itself, as the number of channels is
encoded in a 3 bit field in the streaminfo metadata block.

I see :(
That what I would call a good struct size optimisation.
Please tell me there was another reason behind this being only 3 instead of
8 or 16 bits, right ?

For one thing, only stereo files benefit from additional compression by taking
advantage of similar audio in the two channels. FLAC files with more than two
channels are not any more efficient than separately-compressed monophonic
files. In fact, depending upon the audio content, you're probably

Thanks everybody for their answer.
This is quite unfortunate for me, but hey, that's life.
I will probably end up doing some multi mono bundle similar to what
Protools did back in the days with its .L .R files

Don't overlook the FLAC in Ogg container solution. That's established as a
standard for some time now, as far as I know, and would probably be better than
a new, proprietary multi mono bundle. I haven't used it myself, but people have
been talking about it for a while, and I believe that some "F
This could make sense indeed.
I suppose this is not a libFlac feature and that I should end up using
libogg and or adding myself basic ogg support
in order to support that ?
Thanks !

libFLAC supports writing a single FLAC stream to an OGG container.

So I suppose this means that I cannot use FLAC to write my 16 ogg-flac
channels file
and neither read it (I was able to read a simple FLAC with ogg transport
layer) ?
Thanks !
